Technology use refers broadly to using technology in daily life and activities, while technology integration specifically involves using technology in educational contexts to enhance student learning. Technology integration encourages students to engage with technology in ways that promote conceptual understanding, application of knowledge to real-world problems, and development of critical thinking skills. Educators facilitate student communication, collaboration, and assessment using technology. While technology use on its own is not the same as integration, ensuring technology is incorporated into lesson plans across subjects can benefit students.
